the other Departments are also sub

The Naval Board of Coast Defenses
has nearly completed its report. II
has agreed upon a system of defense,
consisting OF monitors supported by
auxiliary craft, such az rams and
torpedo boats, and ia satisfied that the
100000 appropriated by Congress
for this purpose win be sufficient to
establish at least one unit of the sys-
tenn. The monitor Uianbonomah
has been selected as the vessel which
will be the center of the unit, and
she will be equipped with several
fleet rams, which in turn will he ac-
companied and protected by small,
speedy torpedo boats. If this unit
should be found to work harmonious
ly and efficiently the system can be
indefinitely extended from year 10
year without necessitating a great
expense at one time.
The Government has just granted
pension, TO commence from October
1868, TO a seaman in the United States
Navy, for total blindness, the first
payment on which is $13,0S5. This
Is one of the largest payments, at one
time, ever made by the Pension Office.
The reduction of the public debt
during October amounted 20 $l6,S33,-
Cos, and for the first four months of
the current fiscal year to $40, ,736,035.
The total debt less cash in the Treas

Guiteau's Curse.


The attemptat suicide made recent
ly in New York by Chas. Ii. Reid,
one of Guiteau's counsel, and the
subsequent announcement Of his pres
ent fortune, has brought TO mind
the curse made by Guiteau, when he
received his sentence, upon every
one connected with the trial. The
jury was composed of twelve strong
and healthy men. The foreman was
In comfortable circumstances, and
WAS estimated TO be worth $4,000.
Within year after the trial he lost
his money, and is now reduced to the
level of a day laborer. Four other
members of the jury are dead, and
nearly every one of the others has
been visited with some kind of mis-
fortune. District Attorney George
B. Corkhill was removed from office,
his wife died, and his own death fol-
lowed within year alter the trial.
Mr.. Scoville, Guiteau's brother-in-
law, who with Chss. II. Reid de-
Tended the prisoner, was divorced
from his wife and lost all his prop
erty. President Arthur, who refused
to grant pardon to Guiteau, was
defeated for denomination, and slow
ly failed in health and died. Last
winter Mr.. Blaine, who was witness
against Guiteau, was nominated for
President, but was defeated, John A.
Logan, another witness, is now
dead, stricken down in apparent
health. DR.. ID. w. Bliss, Garileld's
physician, has been in very poor
health for two years, and 1t is thought
that he will never be we'll man
again. David Davis, who appeared
as witness, has also Joined the great
majority. The guards who kept
watch over Guiteau in the Jail have
nearly all lost their positions. Judge
Cox, who presided over the trial, lost
his wife. The only conspicuouc ex-
ception is Waiter Davidgs, of the
Government counsel in the case. Mr..
Davidge has apparently been more
prosperous since the trial than before.
lIe stands at the head of the Wash
ington bar. The defeat of the Re-
publican party in 1884 was predicted
by Guiteau.

Brace Up.

You are feeling depressed, your ap-
petite is poor, you are bothered with
Headache, you are fidgetty, nervous,
and generally out OF sorts, and want
to brace up. Brace up, but not with
stimulants, spring medicines, or bit
ters, which have for their basis very
cheap, had whisky, and which stimu-
late you for an hour, and then leave
you in worse condition than before.
What you want is an alternative that
will purify your blood, start healthy
action of Liver and Kidneys, restore
your vitality, and give renewed health
and strength. Such medicine you
will find in Electric Bitters and only
80 cents a bottle at Harry b. Garncr's

One of Ish stewart'a Vetarans.

No man is nj mentioned in the life of
Jeb Stewart with more honor for
bravely and dash than the gallant
Major b. S. White, of Barnesville,
Maryland. The Major was one OF
the most trusted of the famous caval-
ryman's staff, The Major, for years
since the war, was an invalid, but
recently he has entirely recovered.
How this was brought about is told
in the following letter:
GAINESVILLE, MD, June 20, 1886.
Gentlsmen-For over sixteen years
| had rheumatism in my right
shoulder. At the same time l had
severe Indigestion and dyspepsia. All
during these years l tried several
physicians and numerous patent med
icines, but without getting any per-
msnent relief. A few months ago,
at the persuasion Of relatives, but
with decided prejudice, / began a
course of S. S. S. After using six
large bottles / was entirely well. The
medicine got at the root of the dis
appearance of the rheumatism also
went the Indigestion and dyspepsia.
l have gladly recommended your S.
S. S. to my neighbors and country
men, because am conviced of its
efficacy, it having cured me in spite
of every prejudice. Yours trlY,

SAM sMALL's BROTHER.
Why Did God Make so Much Out
doorsa Two Women's
Experiences.
"Sam Small. Eyangellstln p

"Sam Small, Evangelism
The proverbial philosophy of "0lt
ST." the venerable plantation darkey
who gave to the world through tn,
medium of SmalPs pen maxims o
worldly wisdom, clothed in yer
biage of irresistible humor, has founi
permanent place In humorous lit
erature.
Great surprise was shown when !
was announced that he, having beer
converted under the ministralions o.
"Sam Jones'" would become an evan
gellst.
At first thought, a humorist in the
pulpit seems incongruous. Is il
really so?
No doubt the mere huffman at.
tempting to turn mems hearts TO
solemn truths would meet with only
contempt. But truth is not hidden
in gloom. Genuine humor frequent.
ly illustrates and fastens in tho mind
bits Of wisdom that would otherwise
pass unheeded.
In his eulogy of Henry Ward
Beecher, Rev. DR.. Parker says
whenever he came among men, he
brought June sunshine and music,
aud made even desponding and sur
" men feel that a-fuller and warmer
summer, the Kingdom of Heaven,
itself was 'at hand.W That is genial
christianity. RH
Mr., Small belongs TO a witty fami-
ly. He has brother CONNECTED with
Annoy Knox's and "Fat Contribu-
tors 1'erds SDtings, paper which
has had phenomenal success In the
field OF humorous literature. Mr..
Frank A. Small is the present repre-
sentative of that popular paper in
England, and, like his distinguished
brother, he takes deep interest In
the welfare of other people.
Under date of 4S Porten Road,
Kensineion w. London, Eng, Sept.
9th, 1887, he writes "While at Yald-
ing In Kent yesterday, l met Prof. S.
Williams, Head Master of the Cleayes
Endowed school. In the course of
conversation about America, Profess
sor Williams remarked that War
ner's safe cure had been of great BEN
eft to his wife, who had been much
troubled with disordered liver
Warmers safe cure (an American
preparation) was all she had taken,
and she has experienced none of her
old trouble for some months past.
Mrs. Annie Jepness-Miller, editor
of New York Dress, and very pop
ular woman In the fashionable world,
says in her own magazine for Octo-
ber: "Warner's safe cure is the only
medicine | evor take or recommend.
In every instance II gives new energy
aud vitality TO all my powers" Tins
distinguished woman also says that
for ladies this great remedy is 'pe-
cnliarly effective"
Sam Small is likely 10 succeed as

member how near together in human
nature lie the fountains Of laughter
aud of tears, the deep effect his dis-
courses must have on the masses can
easily be imagined.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Nov. SIN
about a month the Fiflieth Con-
gress will have convened, and its
first session promises to be one Of un-
usual excitement, and, unless all signs
fail, of interesting developments.
Preceding as 1t does the Presiden-
tial election, both parties will be on
their good behavior, and both will
exhibit an excess of zeal in the pre-
sentstion and advocacy of measures
for the promotion of the public good.
The meeting is anticipated with
great interest among politicians of
the Democratic school who see tho
possibility of decided and valuable
party advantage upon a judicious
use of the splendid opportunities
with which the dominant party in
the House will be confronted. BY
their conduct here, they can material
ly advance, or seriously injnre their
chances for success in 1883. The
meeting Is also the subject Of much
anxiety among those upon whom
will devolve the task of conducting
to the point of enactment the impor-
tant measures thatwill be brought be-
fore the House. Chief among these Is
the tariff, the subjectof Congressional
consideration most intimately con-
cerning the interests of the people.
The Democrats realize that they can
have no greater claim, in the next
national contest, for the continued
supremacy Of their party, than to
point to their record in Congress
which accomplished needed reduce
ton in useless taxes, which relieved
the people of oppressive burdens with
the consequent decrease in the present
accumulation of surplus money in
the Treasury. To accomplish these
every energy and influence must lend
its aid. 1t is an achievement to
which even the power of the admin
istrstion, backed by Cleveland's per-
sonal efforts, will be subservient
Hence IL will appear that the contest,
from party standpoint, presents
grave issues and much of vital con-
corn; and party leaders are naturally
anxious.
A large number of Representative;
and a few Senators have already ap-
peared at the Capital, and have To-
Gated for the winter. This being
what is termed long session, proba'
bly extending into the summer, mem
bers generally will bring their fami'
lies. These with the army of hang
ers-on and lobbyists, popnlarly styled
the "Third House." who como with
the assembling of Congress, will
constitute an influx of population
that will make the winter gay, and
gladden. the hearts ofthe boarding
house keepers.
There Is very little talk about the
organization of the house, as 1t Is ta'
ken for granted that all the officers
from the Speaker down will be re-
elected, with the possible exception
of the Doorkeeper. This is an i'm
portant position having considerable
patronage, and the several candidates
already announced make the resul
uncertain. tS
